题目内容

Have you thought about the idea of using energy to overcome health problems, stress and even disease? Dealing with stress and illness can have a negative impact on more than just your physical self, burning to a deep emotional space. Entire families and circles of friends feel worried about someone when they are dealing with a tough situation. But what if positive thinking could have the power to turn things around?

Going way back, when I was working with my husband to start our business, times were tough. Not only had we poured every part of our savings into building our dream, but we were working around the clock to make it happen. Our friends and family were our business partners. We were all tired and stressed but determined. Especially during that time, we did not surround ourselves with anyone who wasn’t positive and encouraging in our efforts. Think great thoughts and welcome the idea that you are sure to succeed.

In business and in our personal lives, we are challenged at some point with unexpected hurdles. Wrapping yourself in positive energy by surrounding yourself with good people, good habits and love can be the perfect way to use optimism to overcome a challenge.

Just recently, I was curious if a positive attitude has been proved to help patients who are suffering from illness or disease to overcome and heal. What I found delighted me. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health. “By accepting an optimistic approach, you are able to deal with tough situations productively.”

I have certainly heard many stories about people who have used a great attitude to overcome life–changing obstacles, and I am a total believer. I have seen the power of positive energy work for me—when I believe, I can handle anything that life sends my way.

A. Taking Charge of Your Attitude

8."Let's have a journey.Why not fly out and meet me,Dad?"I say one day.
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM.His job filled his day,his thoughts,and his life.While he woke up and took a warm shower,I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru.While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch,I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps.He wants me to settle down,but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks.We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
"What's our first stop?"asks my father.
"What time is it?"
"Still don't have a watch?"
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore.As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩),his mouth and eyes open slowly,like those of a little boy.
"Unbelievable,"he says."How was this done?"
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself,"Would I ever devote my life to anything?"
No directions,no goals.I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park,where we have a picnic.
"Did you ever travel with your dad?"I ask.
"Only once,"he says."I never spoke much with my father.We loved each other-but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave."
That last sentence-it's probably the same thing I'd say about my father.And what I'd want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park,my father says,"I've never seen water so blue."I have,in several places of the world.I can keep traveling,I realize-and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip,I call my father.
"The photos from the trip are wonderful,"he says."We've got to take another trip like that sometime."
I tell him I've decided to settle down,and I'm wearing a watch.
